Prerequisite Course

I like participating in exercises; especially the ones that the Air Force offers. However, I think one of the stupidest things to do is to make a prerequisite course for an exercise. I have to take a course before I take a course? This is rediculous. The course was 165 PowerPoint slides. Talk about DBPP (Death By PowerPoint). After that, I had to take an exam that involved answering 85 questions. They were all re-worded too, so I couldn't just go back to the lessons and find the answers. Pain in my butt!

Curling

I took a break today during work and headed down to the breakroom. The TV was playing the Winter Olympic sporting event of Curling. CURLING! Now, there is a sport! I attempted to read about it on Wikipedia, but I started to fall asleep. It's still a bloody mystery to me.

Where We Work

I know you are all very interested to see where we work.

This is "the floor". The red circle is where I sit, the blue circle is where Steve sits, the green circle is where CNN sits, the purple circle is where we watch HP OpenView, and the orange circle is where water sits. See that? I have four monitors. That means I am more important than you.

If I look behind me, this is what I see.

People hard at work at the NOSC. But trust me, you won't find anyone actually smiling like this. My co-worker SSgt Bennett taking a phone call and opening a trouble ticket.

Super Bowl Monday

The Super Bowl is over and the poor Seahawks lost. The game started around 1 AM over here in Germany (hence the appropriate title), so people get to come in to work late. Now, by "people", I mean everyone other than me. "Oh no, sorry Airman Stone. You will not be watching the game because you have to work at 6 AM." Actually, that quote isn't entirely accurate. They wouldn't say "sorry".

Bowling with Steve

Steve and I get along because we make fun of each other. I believe that making fun of someone always points out some truths about that person. It's healthy. Well, about a year ago we went bowling. I never bowl. Bowling is for people who were never any good at more physical sports like baseball, soccer, and basketball.

For one of the games, we decided to do "goofy bowling". This is where every turn, you must bowl a certain way. During one set we decided to bowl between our legs. First, me:



Then, Steve:



I win.
